To be in a position to process methods and find solutions for highly complex, abstract, large, and multilayered problems, a Software Engineer has to have a lot of subject knowledge and technical competencies; but above all, he/she has to be able to work in - at least one - team. For the purpose of preparing the students with professional know-how and moreover with teamwork skills, the approach shown in this paper supplements an ex-cathedra teaching by a seminar and a project phase. This combination is dedicated to acquire theoretical knowledge in a collaborative and self-directed way. This is done in order to be able to deepen the learned matter, to share content through learning-by-teaching in groups and furthermore to apply the knowledge and skills in a simulated project, which constitutes a realistic situation and teamwork of an engineer as good as possible.}, subject = {Software Engineering}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KloppGoldVeerkampKuhnetal.2017, author = {Klopp, Marco and Gold-Veerkamp, Carolin and Kuhn, Martina and Abke, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Can Pair Programming Address Multidimensional Issues in Higher Education?}, series = {International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL)}, booktitle = {International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Learning (ICL)}, publisher = {Springer}, pages = {327 -- 334}, year = {2017}, abstract = {To handle heterogeneity within students, to foster needed generic competencies, to motivate them, and to increase their employability, a didactical method to teach and learn programming in non-major degree programs shall be found. Therefore, this paper covers strategies and the theoretical underpinning concerning these four challenges and gives solutions how to cope with them. Finally, Pair Programming is presented as a method that addresses the issues introduced here.}, subject = {Extreme programming}, language = {en} }
